🗣️ What was it like to work with a future Nobel laureate? Ivo Starý from our institute spoke about his experience in a Czech Television special – earlier in his career, he worked with Kensō Soai, one of the two chemists awarded today.

👐 Ivo Starý from IOCB Prague was a guest on Czech Television today. He discussed this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded today to French chemist Henri B. Kagan and Japanese chemist Kensō Soai for discoveries related to asymmetric synthesis and chirality. #scicomm #NobelPrize #chirality
